What is a Böhme Abrasion Test?
The Böhme abrasion test is a standardized procedure used to determine the resistance of construction materials against mechanical wear. During testing, a specimen is subjected to abrasion on a rotating disc while a specified load and abrasive material are applied.
The resulting volume loss or wear depth provides valuable information regarding the durability and expected service life of the tested material.
Industries commonly using Böhme abrasion testing include:
- Concrete paving block manufacturers
- Natural stone producers
- Road and pavement material suppliers
- Construction laboratories
- Universities and research centers
- Infrastructure projects
